LHS 475 b is a terrestrial planet orbiting the star LHS 475 which is about 40.7 light years away, in the constellation of Octans. [2] [3] It was the first extrasolar planet to be confirmed by the James Webb Space Telescope. [4] It completes an orbit every 2 days and is 99% the diameter of Earth. It is also one of the most similar-to-Earth ...
Scientists have spotted a strange new world.It's almost exactly the size of Earth. It's rocky. It's relatively close (41 light-years away). And, for the first time, astronomers used the most ...
The Webb telescope is the only operating telescope that is capable of characterizing the atmosphere of Earth-sized exoplanets. Attempts to assess LHS 475 b's atmosphere have been made by analyzing ...
Located 1,300 light-years from Earth, the nebula has long presented astronomers with a wealth of celestial objects to study, including planet-forming disks around young stars and brown dwarfs, or ...
Optical Telescope Element. Spacecraft ( Bus and Sunshield) James Webb Space Telescope mission logo. The James Webb Space Telescope ( JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. Its high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments allow it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. [10]
On 15 April 2019, TESS' first discovery of an earth-sized planet was reported. HD 21749 c is a planet described as "likely rocky", with about 89% of Earth's diameter and orbits the K-type main sequence star HD 21749 in about 8 days. The planet's surface temperature is estimated to be as high as 427 °C.
